How can GMACS help you?

GMACS helps young people explore and design their next steps before leaving school.

The site brings together different stages of the career planning process. It helps students navigate the choices open to them and showcases what Greater Manchester can offer. The site also provides a direct way to find out about and apply for courses, jobs, and apprenticeships.

What is GMACS?

It presents information about apprenticeships, T Levels and all other options for post-16 study and training in one place, alongside a range of skills and work opportunities for young people across Greater Manchester.
